Arc Control is a term used on some multi-process welding machines that control: Dig on a CV welding power supply Inductance on a CC welding power supply Hot Start on a CC welding power supply Dig in SMAW welding and inductance during GMAW short circuit transfer

## Step 1<br />The problem is about understanding the term "Arc Control" in the context of welding machines. The term "Arc Control" is used to describe the control of certain parameters in welding machines.<br /><br />## Step 2<br />The term "Arc Control" is used to describe the control of "Dig" on a CV welding power supply. "Dig" refers to the depth of penetration of the welding arc into the workpiece.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />The term "Arc Control" is also used to describe the control of "Inductance" on a CC welding power supply. "Inductance" refers to the property of an electrical circuit that opposes changes in current.<br /><br />## Step 4<br />The term "Arc Control" is also used to describe the control of "Hot Start" on a CC welding power supply. "Hot Start" refers to the initial high current used to start the welding arc.<br /><br />## Step 5<br />The term "Arc Control" is also used to describe the control of "Dig" in SMAW welding and "Inductance" during GMAW short circuit transfer. "SMAW" stands for Shielded Metal Arc Welding, and "GMAW" stands for Gas Metal Arc Welding.
